Mapkin - GPS Navigation, Maps & Traffic App Reviews

Still needs a lot of work.

Very buggy every time add address to work asks me if Im sure and shows 10 different address. No cross street support

This app is the best one ever. The directions are 200% better than any other app and they dont sound like a robot. The thing that stands out the most to me is the customer service. They get back to me within 1 hour. Also they take all our ideas in account and try to make the app even better

This is a really good utility

The app cannot plot routes over 1000 miles. No speedometer and no current speed limit display. Not good for long distance travel. Kind of defeats the purpose of a nav app as people generally know the area around them.

You all should solemnly consider offline mapping! Itll really help users save a bit on their data usage and perhaps time as well!

This navigation app is awesome. I am always skeptical downloading new apps, I like the ones I have. ;) But lets face it, Apples isnt the greatest and Googles makes me go around in circles! This one uses my name to talk to me and refers to myself and it as "we" while taking a turn or direction. Im a nerd so I find this awesome.

So far this app seems pretty ok, but one thing that is not user friendly is that when on the interstate, instead of directing you to exit names it directs you to exit numbers. For example in San Diego when on I-5 north if the app wants you to exit onto another interstate instead of saying to exit onto the 163 North it says exit onto 16B. The problem with that is that the signs for this exit ONLY call out by name (163 N) and there are no exit numbers on this particular transition. Most people know routes and give directions by names and not exit numbers which often times these exit numbers are not displayed. This is bogus and causes people to miss their exits frequently

Most of all, I like the sense of immediate change of "instructions" when I decide on a detour based on traffic problems that I see while on an interstate. There is no immediate "make a U turn, and get back on the route, because I know better than you". Instead, you get a "sweet". Its as if the app reads my mind, and proceeds with appropriate instructions. However, limitation of routes to less than 1000 miles is a bummer.

I am old fashioned and like to see a map. And I mean more than the half mile in whatever direction I am traveling and dont feel like having to zoom out completely and zoom back in. This app lets me control what I can see in a much more useful way than any other app I have tried (#6). The only hiccup is the direction dont tell you the street names until you are on the off ramp. It displays the exit numbers only. Still better than what came with the phone

I really wanted to like this app. It says things like cool and sweet as a normal conversation, but there were too many glitches for me to give it four stars. Sometimes stops speaking and gives wrong directions. Also addresses are not quite as accurate as other programs. With a little bit of work this could be better
